About our mastic sealing in Four Elms
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Searching for sealant specialists in Four Elms? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Four Elms, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to call us in Four Elms
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Older buildings near Four Elms, from historic houses such as Chartwell, 2 miles north of Four Elms, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Questions we’re asked in Four Elms
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Four Elms?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Four Elms off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Converted and older buildings near places like Four Elms tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
